Eric, I'll pm you my number. If you want to hang out while you're out here I'd be glad to show you around. Glad to see the sport spreading to other states. Blitz makes a good product, my friends with the mid-travel kits have nothing to complain about. Good luck and get some pictures started!

Urandaman 12-11-2007 01:34 AM

my friend said i could tear up his plowed field at his farm for some whoops section when they get ready to re plow it hahah.
ill find a use for it somehow hah.

and trent, got your pm. ill shoot ya a msg back thru PM's instead of whoring my project thread.

and the deavers are the F31 pack 7leafs. double wrapped up front. put the bushings and sleeves in just a second ago, went in like butter!

Urandaman 12-11-2007 01:55 AM

Roach2004 12-11-2007 11:06 AM

Nice where you doin this at?

Urandaman 12-11-2007 11:26 AM

im putting the rear on today Minus shackles and shocks.
the front is getting done out in california at Blitzkrieg.

Urandaman 12-11-2007 04:34 PM

got the shakles flipped today and leaf springs on... pain in the ass hahah
stock shocks are just about fully extended haha the 5100s better arrive soon!

DrivAPrerunner 12-11-2007 06:36 PM

Did you have fun with those rivets, Eric? I know that was my most enjoyable part, haha.

Urandaman 12-11-2007 09:40 PM

haha they werent tooo bad.. knocked the heads off with a plasma cutter and once the bracket popped off a few of em slid right out since its still a new truck and they didnt have a chance to rust over haha. but a 3/8" bolt that fit the hole seems small.. so when i pull the bed back off im gonna run 2 1" beads on each side to make sure it wont fall off.
and damn it was a PIA for the front bolts since the factory ones didnt fit the sleeves...

and the double wrap on the springs goes forward correct.. i sure hope so haha

Drayke 12-12-2007 12:08 AM
